and once when visiting the capital of our country went together with my mom to something resembling an amusement park for kids which was across the road from the zoo or near it. There was this whale where you climbed in it's mouth with those kind of loose ladders and then you...

One of my favorite childhood memories always came at tax time. My family was not well to do so I did not get all of the the cool games and toys that came out all of the time when I was a child. However, when taxes came back my dad always took me to the store and let...

Childhood memories, specifically good ones, are essential for a child's positive development....conversely, bad memories can trigger negative effects.....
For me, I remember playing in the street with friends......hugging my mum when the theme tune to her favourite programme...

Years ~ 1982-1988.
Oxford, Pennsylvania.
My grandmother's brick cottage tucked into the rolling country hillside.
Snow.
Grandfather's clock tick-tocking gently in the background.
Exhausted from working all day on the family Christmas Tree farm.
Smell of the Cedar Tree in the...

That was a very special Christmas. The young boy in awe Hid blue eyes wide. Not from the anticipation of Christmas gifts but the spectacle as Borman, Lovell and Anders flew far away and round the Moon for the first time.
Waiting for news on every step of the mission. Watching...

My younger brother was a funny little guy. He was extremely independent and very, very sneaky. He was also very cute with huge eyes and long, spiky eyelashes, and the cutest nose with just a sprinkling of freckles. We called him Chumbly.
One day when he was...

When I was a kid, for some odd reason my music teacher thought I had a nice singing voice and would often put me up as a soloist or in a small group of other kids to sing. Being the terminally shy kid I was it always horrified me when Mrs S, the kindly elderly lady that taught...

I remember...
the first smiles , the bath,
the clothes, the lotion for their skins
the hours of sleep I didn't have
Kissing their eyes to sleep
I treasure special memories…
The falling down by learning to walk
The first words that made me smile
The enchantments they...

I just remembered some of the days when I couldn't get sleep...i would ask my mum to run her hands thru my hair and i would soon fall asleep...but if she stopped and i didn't sleep yet I would ask her i still need more :) I am grateful that I have had those simple yet loving...

What you need to understand is that when I was a boy, there was always a whole boatload of gossip flying around about some of the grownups who lived in the neighborhood. It wasn’t like any of that talk ever came my way directly, mind you; it was just sort of out there, common...

I haven't really celebrated Easter in over three decades so maybe I'm out of the loop on some things, but when did Easter become sort of like a mini-Christmas for kids where on Easter morning there are new toys waiting for them to be played with and most likely broken by...

I remember being terrified of some things in my childhood.
The closet in my bedroom was one. I slept in the bed on the side closest to the closet. Something lived in there. My stuffed animals and dolls lived in there. During the day it was okay. It was my place of refuge. I had...

.. It's late Saturday night ... I should be sleeping but can't ... I click on my transistor radio ... thank goodness the 9 volt battery still has some juice in it ... I turn the dial to my favorite rock station in the state ... there it is ... I'm in time for the call in show...

My twin daughters were born just ten minutes apart, and they came five weeks early, and the older was born head first, and the younger was feet first or what is called a breech birth.

Like the drive to the lake along the long winding dirt road. I looked forward to that drive even more than being at the cottage itself.
I don't know about others but I realize now that I was very reflective as a kid. Even the little...

My dad had a realistic model of a hand in his home office. One evening, I took the hand and put it under my younger sister's bedcovers. When she went to bed that night and found the detached, life-like hand pointing up at her, well, it was worth getting grounded for.

I remember when I saw him for the first time. I was still very young and yet it was love at first sight.
His eyes fascinated me, the expression on his face caught my attention, and his black hair I found beautiful.
I immediately had the urge to touch him and want to take him in...

This day stayed with me very vividly. I remember very well that I woke up between my parents, as it was getting light outside. I remember that I heard several singings of birds which sat in the tree outside the window of my parents. A first sung birthday greeting from a few...

memories from when I was little, is running through a paddock where the grass was taller than me it seemed like no matter in which direction I ran that I didn't know where I was, all I could see was long grass, I think that it was a paddock that Dad had set aside for hay, but I...

I have a few stories to tell for this. Since most of my stories are more sad I decided to write an uplifting one about some funny things that happened in my childhood :)
When I was 11 (I think) I got in big trouble for something, I don't remember what it was exactly but I believe...

As the eldest, I was the leader of the gang and I always had three willing accomplices to implement my ideas.
One day, when we were between 1 & 5 years old, my mother took the needle of the record player away
so that we couldn't play records and scratch them.
I took a sewing...
